Thompson, an engineer, who came originally from New York, told the people at this meeting that he could re-survey the town into blocks 24 rods square with streets 6 rods wide, including the sidewalks, and all could have a corner lot. His plan was immediately adopted, so Edward W. Thompson surveyed plat "A" as we have it today, leaving State street (two blocks west of the Beaver Bank) eight rods wide, the same width as State street in Salt Lake City.
The new survey left Wilson G. Nowers' cabin in the street, north of block 13, lot 3, and Nancy K. Nowers Burt was born in this cabin before it was removed from the street to the lot now occupied by the John C. Bowman home. Nancy was the first white girl born in Beaver. John Ashworth had to move his corral and chicken coop off the street. These men were public-spirited and had voted for the Thompson survey. Others were also discommoded.

The abandonment of the San Bernardino, Calif., Mission, in 1858, due to the invasion of Utah Territory by Johnston's Army, brought to Beaver quite a number of prominent families, among whom were Francis M. Lyman, Marcus L Shepherd, Sidney Tanner, Horace A. Skinner, Alphonzo M. Farnsworth, Jonathan and Alma Crosby, John W. Christian, John P. Carter, Addison Pratt, John Hunt, E. C. Mathews, Thomas Parkinson, Henry Gale, William Moyes, William Flake, Charles Nickerson, Philip Baker, Ephraim Twitchell, William Hawkins and possibly others.
The population of Beaver was again materially increased in numbers owing to the abandonment of Circle-44, when Black Hawk and his tribe made successful attaks on the town. The greater number of its inhabitants were brought to Beaver, June 20th, 1866, by volun-
